Abstract: A load responsive hydrodynamic bearing is provided in the form of a thrust bearing or journal bearing for supporting, guiding and lubricating a relatively rotatable member to minimize wear thereof responsive to relative rotation under severe load. In the space between spaced relatively rotatable members and in the presence of a liquid or grease lubricant, one or more continuous ring shaped integral generally circular bearing bodies (6) each define at least one dynamic surface (22) and a plurality of support regions (B0). A plurality of flexing regions (37) are defined by the generally circular body of the bearing and are integral with and located between adjacent support regions (B0). Each of the flexing regions (37) has a first beam-like element (38) being connected by an integral flexible hinge (44) with one of the support regions and a second beam-like element (39) having an integral flexible hinge connection with and adjacent support region (B0). At least one local weakening geometry of the flexing region (44) is located intermediate the first and second beam-like elements. In response to application of load from one of the relatively rotatable elements to the bearing, the beam-like elements (38, 39) and the local weakening geometry (44) become flexed, causing the dynamic surface to deform and establish a hydrodynamic geometry for wedging lubricant into the dynamic interface.

Abstract: A heat-shrinkable article suitable for use as an insulating or coating material comprises a crosslinked composition of a polypropylene homopolymer or copolymer and an ethylene-propylene elastomer. The article is formed by a process comprising: i) creating a blend of the polypropylene homopolymer or copolymer and the ethylene-propylene elastomer by melt mixing; ii) melt processing the blend produced in I) to produce a melt processed material; iii) crosslinking the melt processed material produced in ii)by exposing it to radiation to produce a crosslinked material; iv) stretching the crosslinked material at a first temperature close to or above its softening or melting point and subsequently cooling it to a second temperature below its softening or melting point, to thereby freeze the crosslinked material in its stretched form. Subsequent heating of the article close to or above its softening point or crystalline melting point results in recovery of the pre-stretched dimensions of the article. Due to its relatively high content of polypropylene, the heat-shrinkable article thus produced has greater toughness and rigidity than polythylene-based systems, making it suitable for use as insulation for wives and cables a heat-shrinkable corrosion resistant sleeves for high-temperature transmission pipeline joints, and for heat-shrinkable tubing or shapes for electrical insulation and mechanical protection.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for scheduling transmit rates and power levels for data in conjunction with a voice-data communication during conditions of soft and softer handoff. During conditions of no handoff, or hard handoff, an algorithm selects a slot reflecting a favored power level and transmission rate for transmitting the non-voice data on a supplemental channel. The slot is selected based upon the transmission power levels for voice-data transmitted by a base station to a remote station on a fundamental channel. The algorithm applies to softer handoff using information from all the sectors of a base station involved in the softer handoff. During soft handoff, instead of scheduling forward link transmission based on recent power and rate, or C/I information, data is continuously transmitted to the user at a power level based on average required power.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preventing press fit damages to wheelsets, particularly to wheelsets of rail vehicles. To this end, the surface of a wheelset shaft is treated before subsequently joining of the wheelset. The aim of the invention is to develop a method, which cost-effectively protects the wheel seats from press damages by means of a special surface treatment, which is adapted to current maintenance technologies, and which avoids structural changes to existing wheelset designs. To this end, the invention provides that, first of all in at least one step, the wheelset shaft is longitudinally turned or longitudinal ground in its cylindrical and conical end area, and the resulting transition is smoothed and/or rounded whereby subsequently treating the surface of the wheelset shaft using a plasma ion implantation method. During this treatment, a finely distributed powder that reduces coefficients of friction, especially a powder containing sulfide, is applied to the rotating wheelset shaft under atmospheric pressure while using a cold plasma that contains reactive gas serving as a carrier gas. The powder is applied in such a manner as to construct, on the nanometer and/or micrometer scale, a very hard metallic slide layer having a low adhesiveness. In the event of the highest contact pressures between the wheelset shaft and the wheel, a solid lubrication, which prevents press damages, is produced immediately after the lubricant film has been ruptured.
